Raphinha’s father has discussed his son’s Leeds United future as talk rages on about his potential departure this summer. Barcelona looked set to prise the 25-year-old away from the Whites but there are increasing doubts over whether they have the available finances to complete such a deal.
That may put other interesting parties on alert as certain Premier League clubs have been linked previously but it strengthens the Whites’ hopes of holding onto their star man. Reports had stated that the Brazil international had handed in a transfer request to outline a potential desire to leave but his respect to the club seems far greater than to carve out an ugly transfer saga.
The calmness of his father over the situation possibly highlights the lack of a burning passion to pursue a move elsewhere. He was interviewed about his son by Record in Portugal.
